Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are headed to Boise

Hot Seattle act Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will return to Boise for the first time in a year — but it won’t be at the Knitting Factory Concert House this time around.

The duo, which has blown up behind the success of songs such as “Thrift Shop,” will headline much larger Taco Bell Arena on Oct. 25. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Tuesday. Tickets to the public go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Prices haven’t been announced — no press release from Taco Bell Arena has been issued yet that I’m aware of — but BoiseStateTickets.com indicates they’ll “start at $29.” Tickets will cost $29, $35, $40 and $47.50.
